"House of Cards"??
To make sense of this "cacophany of crap" about the Chechneyan-American Bombers, spewing from the mouths of those politicians who hog our media, let me take you back several decades, to a time when we were led by people who were not "mental midgets". The time period is those two years between 1962 and 1964. President Kennedy was struggling with Vietnam, AND the Cuban Missile Crisis -- and was murdered; "privileged" kids were in a dither, trying to figure out the best way to beat the Draft; and Martin Luther King was turning up the heat in his stand against the Vietnam War. I remember a column in the Post by Walter Lippmann, telling King to shut up about the War, because foreign policy was white man's business in the United States.
For the record, Lippman was a columnist of the stature of Will and Dowd combined, today. Not even non-white citizens would have thought the stand taken by Lippman to be "unusual" in those days.
With John Kerry placed in charge of our State Department (a clap for irony?), that mind-set can resume, I suppose. We've had women and minorities (perhaps I stutter?) in that spot since the Clinton years.
What's Constitutional? What are the rights of "Americans"? How do we "handle" the surviving bomber. (NOTE: it has now been revealed that the police were in the process of taking the older brother alive, when the younger brother drove the SUV over him, dragging him to his death). Such are the issues that blow weak minds!
Our Founders are of no help in this matter. They didn't believe that anyone who was not white was even human! That didn't keep them from sleeping with their black slaves, however, (Spielberg just had to insert that fact into the LINCOLN movie).
One of the loudest mouths is that of a Senator who is proud of his 30 years as a military lawyer. He wants to see our Constitution replaced by the UCMJ (Univeral Code of Military Justice), I guess.
What happened between then and now? Baby-Boom "leadership"!
Stay Vigilant! Keep thinking! Pray??
